any thoughts on this ....?
Three core issues
1) Will this new public policy essentially come in contradiction to Title IX? And if so, at what points? Effective public policy does not act in a regressive manner to established previous policy that no one is arguing about and everyone can see the merits of it.
2) How will this impact, if at all, athletic scholarships? For some, success in athletics and getting a scholarship is the only real way they can go to and afford college/university.
3) In terms of politics, will several public test cases that spin in a negative direction cause Biden/Harris to lose the critical suburban female vote. Everyone is extremely "liberal" out loud, but once you come near their homes and their children, you'll find a much different response.
As I've said for years on this site, if you want to find the two biggest groups of bigots, xenophobes and racists in America, just look at parents and homeowners. I've never heard more racist things in my life than when a parent is screaming about some perceived harm coming near their child. Or encroaching into their actual neighborhood.
The Squad original member Ayanna Pressley just asked her local police department for a full time security detail around her residence. This after calls for defunding the police and saying in public that
"there must (definitely).... be... unrest...in the ... streets....as long.....as.. there will be... unrest... in all our lives" Lori Lightfoot encouraged protests that turned to riots and looting, except when it encroached into her neighborhood, then she declared no one could protest in her neighborhood on the public streets, then stationed up to ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY OFFICERS A NIGHT outside her residence. Her tactical commanders begged her to take her wife and relocate into a secure high rise ( much easier to secure and defend with less manpower) so they could redeploy those officers into critical riot zones, and she said No.
So the public reaction will come down to the test cases. If you have X number of high school and college sports, and you'll have Y number of total men playing women sports, and out of those, you'll have Z number who are just gaming the system in some fashion. Out of group Z, how many will end up raping one of their female teammates?
Because that's the only narrative needed, just one high profile case, for Biden/Harris to lose the entire suburban female voting block.
LGBT are only a small percentage of the total population, but the critical issue is where they have density ( Big Blue cities that the DNC needs) They are also disproportionately represented in Hollywood against the average. Anywhere from 72 to 81 percent of all registered LGBT voters who did vote did so for Joe Biden. The turn out rate was 93 percent out of total registered, but the critical number is that roughly 25 percent were first time voters. In order to hold those voters, Biden has to give them something for their votes.
Here's the problem for the DNC, they need both the LGBT vote AND the suburban female vote to win POTUS and down the ticket. When one interferes with the vote for the other, you have problems.
I do not see this ending well. Those who say it will only impact only a small number of people, well if you were a 17 year old girl and your only hope at college is an athletic scholarship and now some guy playing on your lacrosse team is wiping everyone out, those statistics mean jack #### to her and her life and her opportunity. This doesn't even address two big fallout situations of all this
A) Lots of parents might pull their daughters out of sports over even just one male on their teams causing massive attention/mayhem/SJW grief for their own individual cause. This doesn't help our society. I have nothing against LGBT folks, but there is a balance here about fairness but also practicality.
B) Wealthier areas and parents will have a massive advantage. They'll just start private sports leagues that involve only their personal funding. Another situation where rich kids can keep trucking and poor kids, where sports if one of the few vehicles in life that can cause someone to leapfrog standard class division on society, have yet another hurdle in place.
The unsettling issue is the progressive creeping of the ever progressive/socialist leaning of our current government into telling people how to raise their kids. This goes beyond partisan politics, you don't walk into a man's home and tell him how to raise his children.
Some of you voted for this madness, so here you have it. Sit down and eat the whole meal.
